My comment was aimed at the people who vote frivolously, ignoring many signs that a candidate may be unfit for office and is divisive or otherwise bad for the democracy. Here, they vote anyway because the candidate embraces their racist hints.

I did not vote for him, but even if I had, I would have soon seen the truth and regretted my support.

Voters can make mistakes and should be responsible to withdraw their support once the mistake is obvious.

My sage advice is to call an electrician. The expert will evaluate what you want to get done and then will do it in a way that will probably both surprise you and look much better than your idea. If the electrician shows up and is dressed like Merlin the Magician it's because they really can be magicians when getting electrons through walls.

Our son did a science fair project on a "color detection robot" which we researched and built together. The project electronics began with three band-pass optical filters tuned to RED BLUE GREEN (donated to him by a New Jersey optics firm). Each filter allowed the passing of light within the center of the wavelengths for each color. Then we added an octal decoder chip with three inputs (one from each of the filters) and eight outputs: red blue green yellow brown violet black and white (each lit by an LED).

The wonderful moment? We've all heard that white is the presence of all colors but it's a little hard to swallow. Our son held a white piece of paper in front of the three optical bandpass filters and all three filters turned on their outputs and then the octal decoder indicated "white", all colors!

His project won 2nd place in that year's regional Exxon Mobile Science Fair.
